Comments about this poem (American History by Marilyn Lott )

This makes me remember an argument I had with my friend during my school days. He was arguing that studying History is simply a waste of time & it should be excluded from the curriculum. For me its all the more refreshing to have a splash in history.

I preserve all outdated gadgets that come my way just to marvel at the remarkable ability of our ancestors to survive under highly limited resources.

The funniest thing I have is an old television set. It literally looks like a transformer enclosed in a coffin. But I simply love it.
